Robin Ali is Professor of Molecular Genetics at University College London and Moorfields Eye Hospital. He talks about his work on #genetherapy for eye degeneration.
#Regenerativemedicine is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to develop the science and tools that can help repair or replace damaged or diseased human cells or tissues to restore normal function. It holds the promise of revolutionising treatment in the 21st century. It may involve:
- Transplanting #stemcells, progenitor cells or tissue, stimulating the body’s own repair processes
- Using cells as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents such as genes and cytokines
- Using biomaterials to support tissue regeneration.
All regenerative medicine strategies depend upon harnessing, stimulating or guiding endogenous developmental or repair processes. Accordingly, stem cell research plays a central role in regenerative medicine, which also spans the disciplines of tissue engineering, developmental cell biology, cellular therapeutics, gene therapy, biomaterials (scaffolds and matrices), chemical biology and nanotechnology.
